The different unlockable game modes for Dead Space 3 are pretty interesting. A single life for the entire game, especially. Having a limited number of saves is one thing. One life, though? That sounds like a mode made for masochists. Provided the game is longer than ten hours, of course. Sign me up! I'll see your challenge defeated, Visceral.

"What office stereotype are you, and why? Are you the Golden Child? The Storyteller? The Lunchtime Nailclipper? I think I'm the Prankster. I take great joy in messing with people and making them laugh during the workday. Leave your computer unlocked? My Little Pony wallpaper. Leave your phone unlocked? Phrases like "the" turn into "headrush is king". I also love to slowly rise over cube walls so that just the top of my head and eyes show, staring until the person freaks out." [by Head Rush]

"Can we do some Book Recommendations? I like scifi/fantasy, and I read a lot. I have read almost every major series, and most major authors. I won't go into detail, but my favorite books are The Name of the Wind, Ender's Game, and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Are there some lesser known series I should be looking at?" [by Cottc Cid]
